1t is not necessary to resort to the
present mode of brutality III breaking
and handling broncho horses. They
are no worse than any other horses.
They are pounded and choked because
there is but little value in them. If
the present methods are human then /
am off The legislature should pass
special act governing this business. If
men will not be kind to dumb animals
with their own volition they should be
made to do so by law.-Clifton Bell in
Field and Farm.
Ed. Anshutz, aged about 35 wears.
died at his home in Lincoln township,
Stafford county, Kansas, Of typhoid
fever after an illness of three weeks,
on Friday night, Nov. 4ih. 1887. and
was buried in cemetery near by on
Sunday afternoon. a large coz
course of friends and neigbors follow
ed the remains to their last resting
place. Deceased leavesa wife and four
children to mourn his loss. Mr.. An.

Sunday We saw good little Sun
day School boy, between Is and 20
years old, going down the street with
package under MS arm that looked
like the banner that is carried by the
class which chips in the most pennies
during a month. 1t was done up in
newspaper, and as we passed the
youth We turned our admiring gaze
upon him again. when lol the frisky
south>wind had caught the paper in
an united spot, and there was dis
closed to view 4 good sized double
barrelled shot gun. As we rever
emily pursued our way we wondered
if that young man would take u;
for geeses."

Seeing a. Man Hung.

There are lots of people who want to
see an execution simply for the purpose
of being able to boast of it afterward.
With such have no sympathy what
ever. / have never seen but one man
hanged, and if can help it will never
see another. 1t happened several years
ago, but [ have never forgotten my
sensations. L experienced nothing but
gentle feeling of curiosity until the
condemned man was led into the Jail
yard. AS he assembled the steps of the
gallONs ! felt that ipdescrihahle sinking
in the region OF the stomach which
makes one think that there is nothing
solid in his anatomy below the collar
bone. l tried to keep from observing
his faltering steps and pallid looks, but
there seemed to be magnet which
drew my eyes to his fear stricken coun-
tenance with irresistible force.
AS the knot was finally adjusted
turned my gaze away and noticed that
the rest of the spectators looked about
as frightened as the man about to die.
L couldn't keep my gaze concentrated
upon any one object, but it roved over
the assembly: and tinally-though
tried to prevent it from doing sO-rest-
ed fair and square upon the face of the
condemned man. His eyes met mine,
and there was an appealing look in
them that went to my heart and made
me feel like murderer myself. After
that L could no more look away than l
could jump over the court house.
When the drop fell L sank to the
ground in a dead faint. 1t was a hor-
rible sensation, | can assure you, and
wouldn't go through it again for the
wOrd.-ChicagO Herald.

THE discovery of the nefarious busi-
ness of procuring young girls for in
famous dens near Milwaukee has
aroused fierce public indignation. &
woman proprietor of one of these places
has been arrested and awaits trial. 1t
is surmised that the extreme penalty of
the law, ten years in the penitentiary,
will be Justly visited upon her. The
governor of Wisconsin is taking vigor-
ons steps to clean out these pestiferous

Kansas Crops.

The Kansas Farmer has reports from
sixty counties of the State, written by
special correspondents in answer to
questions concerning weather during
September and October, and condition
of corn, wheat, pastures and stock.
Although the letters are from only
about two-thirds of the counties, they
fairly represent the entire State because
they came from every section. 1t ap-
pears that rain fell in September in al
most every locality and i'll quantities
sufficient to start the fall pasture and
put ground i'll good condition for fall
seeding. Insects and drouth had
frightened many farmers from sowing
wheat, but the copious rains stopped
insect ravages, and a good deal more
wheat sown late in September than was
intended earlier. And the soil has
been in such good condition since the
autumn rains began that the young
wheat is reported growing vigorously
III al parts of the State. As to wheat
the reports are particularly encourag-
ing. Late corn has brought a good
deal of "soft corn'' which will serve a
good purpose for early feeding. An
unusually large quantity of fodder and
hay has been saved, so that every coun-
ty reports feed enough for winter.
Stock is in good plight and healthy,
with few cases of cholera among hogs.
Stock in Kansas never was in better
condition on the first day of November
than it was on that day this year.
There is a general feeling among the
farmers that 1888 will be good crop
year.

Not Allowed to Finish.

At a meeting of the w. c.. +. L. at
Santa Rosa recently a local orator
named Gillespie was called upon to
make few remarks. He spoke upon
the necessity of wives, mothers, sisters
and other sorts aud conditions Of fe-
males setting good examples and
adopting a set rule.
Ladies', said he, Il have noticed
Il thousand times that woman's breech-
es-'
"Order, sir! come to order, "E;piped
the chair woman shrilly.
"Madam, ! am in order. 1 was
saying that | have noticed a thousand
tImes that woman's breeches-"
"Sir, you are no gentleman"
screamed the secretary Indignantly.
Leave the room, sir, How dare you
speak of the notice you have taken 0 +
ladies-er- well, undergarments."
Ladies, protested Gillespie-''la-
dies, let me"
As they hustled him out of the room
he was heard to exclaim: Because
of temperance" Aud then the ladies
thought they had been too hasty, bui
said nothing 50 emphatically that the
ticking of he dollar nickle-plated
clock or the chairwoman's table
sounded like the rattle Of volunteer
fire company on the way to a ccnHa

Natural Gas to the Rescue.

1t is stated that natural gas displaced
in the year 1886 no less than 6.535. 900
tons of coal. Natural gas is Il great
blessing. When the scarcity-the
alleged scarcity-of cars to haul coal is
given as the cause of GOALS going up,
we wonder what would be the present
price if natural gas hadn't come to the
rescue. But isn't it strange that the
complaint called scarcity of cars at
tacks nothing but coal traffic? Curious,
isn't it, that there are cars enough for
all other kinds of business? But, any
how, blessed be natural gas.-St. Louis

Night running is ruinous to the
morals of boys in all Instances. They
acquire under the cover ofnight, bad,
vulgar and and profane language, OBJ.
scene practices, criminal sentiments
and lawless and riotons bearing. In.
deed, it is in the street after night
fal that boys principally acquire the
education Of bad, and capacity for
becoming rowdy, dissolute men.
Parents, see TO it that your sons are
not on the street at night aud save
them from the terrible consequences
that are sure to follow. If you do
this, when they leave the parental

A Democrat Gives His Views on the Cues

10 ne Editor Of tie Register:
MARION COUNTY, W. VA, January s.
Now that the session of the Legislature is
upon US, there is some interest developing
in regard to the election of q Senator to
succeed Senator Camden, and the desire
that the man shall be Democrat of the
true stripe, is very general. When the
hteHigeReer stated. n few days Spce, in
substance, that the defeat of Senator Cam
den meant the diSintegratiOn of the Demo-
cratic party, and urged, therefore, that the
Republican members of the Legislature
should unite with those Democrats
who were willing to serve Jim
Mason and defeat Mr.. Camden, it
occurred to us that it had pat forth the
best reason imaginable for the Senator's
reelection. If he is the man to whom the
majority of our people look for political
guidance, if he is SO much more esteemed
and cOnfided in than other Democrats, if
his honesty and ability entitle him to all
this, if he is so great in the
hearts of the Democracy that it
can't do without him, what more rea-
son is needed to convince Democrats that
Mr.. Camden should succeed himself?
Whoever, in the party, allows himself to
be used as a tool by the Republicans
wml deserve and receive the con-
demnatiOn of Democrats, and whoever of
Il legislators helps to bring about so dire
q calamity will, and should feel the wrath
Of his fellow partisans. But If Senator
Camden can be fairly defeated, there are
few people who would howl over it. We
only insist that it should be done without
any of the ''unhOly alliance business.
Senator Camden, as Senator, is worth
more to West Virginia than is any other
nan in the State. There is every obvious
reason for his reelection, and so happy a
cOnsummatiOn would be a blessing TO the
whole State, and Of inestimable benefit to
the people as wellaS the party. Let there
be fairness and honesty in the contest, and
let our Legislators stand by the men who
have made our State what it is, and who
have the energy and ability to further our
advancement

ed, as in 1871, that th,

ed, rs In 1871, that the
venly contested between
81fdates, thatno candidate could
get a majority OF the Democratic vote. 1t
may happen 80 again, but that does notre-
heye Democrats from the respon-
sibility of uniting in caucus,
and selecting the choice of the
majority, if they can agree. The object of
the caucus is to enable the Democrats to
elect the choice of the majority of their
own party, and to prevent Republicans
from controlling the election of a Senator
against the will of, the majority of the
Democracy. Mr.. MAsON's object is to
aid the Republicans in their game against
the Democratic party. Mr.. MAsoN's
whole course for years seems to have been
in sympathy with the Republican party
to disrupt and destroy the Democratic
party. We warn all good Democrats
against his false Democrat" $ called.
